Now the company is working hard to get its latest outlet in working order, with a proposed opening date of August 14.

Somerset Live has been given exclusive access to their new home at Lancaster House just off West Street, just a short distance from Williams supermarket and the Brunel shopping centre in the former Brainwave shop.

The new business has received the unanimous support of Somerton Town Council, which voted to recommend approval of the plans on Tuesday evening (August 1).

All the bread available in the new store will be baked in Glastonbury and then transported every morning. Savoury items such as pasties, however, will be prepared on site from frozen.

Mr Stoddart added: "We've created five new jobs so far, hiring people from Somerton, and we're looking at taking on an apprentice if things go well."

The new shop is due to open on August 14, with the precise details of any opening ceremony still to be confirmed. South Somerset will make a final decision on the change of use plans after September 1.
